With particular reference to June 3rd disaster, Rev Owusu Bempah’s verdict was that a country that has an evil leader, calamities of such nature it suffers.   Former President JJ Rawlings It has never crossed our minds that in just 10 months such sad situations would inundate us under President Akufo Addo and his competent team having the likes of Owusu Bempah as intercessors.

Rockefeller founded Standard Oil, of which various components were later merged to form Exxon.  The family after 146 years in the oil industry announced its exit from the business.
